People are hyped about the top 3-4 guys (Ball, Cole, Edwards and Wiseman) but what will define this class is the PG's. Even the 2nd round PG's look strong. 2009 was the last class like this. 2018 looking like a strong PG class (Trae, SGA, Sexton, Graham) but that's like 4 PG's and one really special one. This class like 2009 got about 10. I would draft my PG (for the future or backup in this draft). The other positions just aren't that strong. SG is the 2nd strongest but it's weak outside the top tiers. SF is extremely weak. PF/C is a joke outside of the top guys. This draft is PG and SG heavy.
I would bet potential otherwise. I like Jaden McDaniels as a future 4 in the mold of Jon Issac. I like Nnaji. I like Deni Avdija and guys long term guys like Diakite and Queta but this class is a PG class. Once the positional players are gone in the top 8-10. Just pick PG's or trade out.
While I agree with you, this is a strong PG class, even in Sleepers, I suspect it’ll thin out by the end of the season. Plus some of these guys are likely more of a 2-guard in the NBA. PG is such a weird position nowadays though, there are a bunch of PGs now that aren’t traditional point guards, who can usually use their speed to penetrate and dish. Now guys pass and create plays from the top of the 3 point line or on fast breaks instead of penetrating and dishing. Guys like Coby White, Patrick Beverley, etc are guys you’d expect to be 2-guards, but they’re able to operate fine as a point guard. They just don’t have the role of penetration and dominating touches. PG seems to really be about fitting in a specific system nowadays, depending on what a team needs.
The NBA is positionless now, but it’s filled with roles instead.
